Objectives: This study aims to detect early class I, II, and III malocclusions through the muscle strength of the lips, tongue, masseter, and temporalis.
Materials And Methods: The study subjects were 30 pediatric patients with predetermined criteria. The subjects were divided into class I, II, and III malocclusions where each classification of malocclusion amounted to 10 people.

Tip control in lingual orthodontics may be challenging because of the presence of a vertical slot and the particular configuration of the customized appliances. The aim of this in vitro experimental study was to investigate the role of the ligature-wire-slot system in achieving better tip control. A set of customized lingual brackets was obtained for a dedicated typodont made of extracted human teeth.

Background: Abnormal positioning and dislocation of the central incisor can disturb tooth eruption. Generally, inversely impacted maxillary central incisors do not erupt naturally. Performing traction and applied extrusion of an inversely impacted maxillary central incisor with a high inclination angle of the crown is challenging.

Objective: To analyse the biomechanics of molar protraction through clear aligner therapy (CAT) with and without a buccal cantilever.
Methods: Models were composed of mandible, lower dentition, periodontal ligaments, attachments, a buccal cantilever, and clear aligner. Four groups were designed: (1) control (aligner only), (2) aligner+buccal cantilever with buccal class II traction, (3) aligner+buccal cantilever with buccal class II and lingual class II tractions, (4) aligner+buccal cantilever with buccal horizontal traction named buccal class I, buccal class II, and lingual class II tractions.
Objective: To simulate the en masse traction technique with the integration (EMTI) of six maxillary anterior teeth using a finite element model (FEM) and explore various protocols for maxillary protrusion. The study aimed to investigate root displacement and stress distribution in the periodontal ligament (PDL) by varying the retraction position and direction of EMTI applied to the maxillary anterior teeth. No actual participants were involved.
